These bowls are deconstructed burgers, instead making them into a healthy salad, with the buns swapped for roasted sweet potatoes. There's way more food for way less calories, with a lot of volume to this dish. It's full of all your favorite burger flavors, toppings, and my Date Sweetened Ketchup. If a classic burger is what you desire, see my Simple Burger Patties and No Yeast Whole Wheat Burger Buns.

BURGER
- 1 lb (454 g) Ground beef, 93/7
- 1/2 tbsp (7.5 g) Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp (10 g) Soy sauce, low sodium, gluten free
- 2 tsp (6 g) Paprika
- 1 tsp (3 g) Garlic powder
- 1 tsp (3 g) Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Salt
- 1/2 tsp (1.5 g) Black pepper, ground
- 1/4 tsp (0.75 g) Cayenne pepper

SALAD
- 2 head (454 g) Romaine lettuce
- 4 medium (400 g) Tomato
- 1 medium (110 g) Onion
- 4 slice (28 g) Pickles

1. Starting with the sweet potatoes. Wash and cut your sweet potatoes into cubes. You don't need to peel the sweet potatoes. Add to a microwave save bowl, and toss with oil, soy sauce, and baking soda. Cover, and microwave on full power for 3 minutes to soften the sweet potatoes

2. Remove the sweet potatoes from the microwave, and toss with the seasonings - chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper

3. Add to your air fryer in a single layer, and air fry at 400F for about 6-8 minutes, or until crispy but not burnt. Set aside

4. Moving onto the cheese. In a small bowl, mix together shredded cheese, cornstarch, and almond milk. This will get added into the beef at the end. Set the bowl aside

5. Now for the burger. Heat a large pan over medium heat with olive oil. Add in the beef, and cook until browned. Season with soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper

6. Add the bowl of cheese into the pan, mix, and cover. Cook for just a minute or so to melt the cheese and a creamy sauce forms. Set the pan aside

7. Meanwhile, chop up the vegetables for the salad. Wash your lettuce and tomatoes. Thinly slice the lettuce, cut the tomatoes into a medium dice, and the onions and pickles into a small dice. Set vegetables aside

8. Finally, it's time to assemble your bowls. Place the lettuce on the bottom as a base, and evenly top with your meat and sweet potatoes. Add the vegetables on top around the sides, and spoon on some Date Sweetened Ketchup
